Cooking this again for the third time in a week!

On quiet evenings when the sun begins to set and the crickets start their serenade, there's something wonderfully nostalgic about a simple, flavorful dish like garlic parmesan shrimp. This recipe brings together the warmth of traditional Midwestern cooking and the convenience of modern air fryer technology, making it perfect for those nights when you crave both comfort and ease. Shrimp has always been a special treat in our family, reminding me of the rare but delightful deliveries of fresh seafood we'd get growing up in the heartland. This recipe is one that blends the rich, savory notes of garlic and parmesan with the crispy perfection only an air fryer can provide. It's ideal for a quick weeknight meal or a special occasion without much fuss.
This garlic parmesan shrimp pairs beautifully with creamy mashed potatoes or a rustic loaf of homemade bread to soak up the garlicky goodness. A fresh garden salad with a light vinaigrette adds a crisp contrast, and a side of steamed asparagus or green beans will round out the meal, offering a touch of elegance. If you’re feeling a bit indulgent, a glass of chilled white wine, like a buttery Chardonnay, really brings out the flavors of the shrimp.
